some people working in the field said it wasn't proven to be graphene (disagreement on methodology basically) and that it wasn't replicated
It is not technically graphene due to the multicrysal + variable layer formation. You can search my user name in google scholar to see my publications.
do you know any good places to read, or sites to follow about graphene research ?
I was interested in the flash joule thing to play with conductive ink or insulations..
Not trying to snark, I’m genuinely interested in seeing the counter arguments. Thanks
First, it probably isn't monolayer, but rather variable layer numbers, so practically speaking... it's probably graphite.
Second, there is likely to be a lot of defects. So you don't get the full strength that you would find with single crystal exfoliated or epitaxially grown graphene.
Still, I would imagine that a method like this could be useful, particularly if you were building a colony off-world. You don't need high-quality graphene for making composites for construction.
He didn't explain in details saying telling more would be intellectual property breach and that a lot of companies are searching for flash joule like techniques and if they were working they'd be in use yesterday.
